Hi all. It has been a couple years since I did any programming. Anyways, I just bought a new iMac and I wanted to transition an old piece of shareware to this computer. So I copied my old project over (along with the entire User from my old Cube). When I tried to build this is the error that I got.
mkdir "/Volumes/Mac_OS_X/Users/honkey/Arcade Typing Tutor/build/Development/Arcade Typing Tutor.app/Contents/MacOS"
cd "/Volumes/Mac_OS_X/Users/honkey/Arcade Typing Tutor"
/Developer/usr/bin/g++-4.0 -arch i386 "-L/Volumes/Mac_OS_X/Users/honkey/Arcade Typing Tutor/build/Development" "-L/Users/honkey/Arcade Typing Tutor" "-F/Volumes/Mac_OS_X/Users/honkey/Arcade Typing Tutor/build/Development" -filelist "/Volumes/Mac_OS_X/Users/honkey/Arcade Typing Tutor/build/Arcade Typing Tutor.build/Development/Arcade Typing Tutor.build/Objects-normal/i386/Arcade Typing Tutor.LinkFileList" -framework Cocoa -lValidate -leSellerate -framework QuickTime -framework OpenGL -prebind -o "/Volumes/Mac_OS_X/Users/honkey/Arcade Typing Tutor/build/Development/Arcade Typing Tutor.app/Contents/MacOS/Arcade Typing Tutor"

I had been running an older version of XCode on the old Cube. Any thoughts as to why this won't compile? Thnx

Make sure all your files are in the right folders and that the paths in your code are correct.

It's looking for a library called "libValidate.a" or "libValidate.dylib" and it can't find it..
